It’s really interesting to see how Katsucon has grown and changed over the years. I attended my first Katsucon back in 2004 as a 16 year old fresh off her first couple anime conventions in late 2003 and had a blast rooming with my mom and my grandparents (who went sightseeing the whole weekend). That was back in the day when I went by CCAmanda in the cosplay world.
